"I once studied under a lamp. I read books. I dreamed of life. Now, the glow of my phone makes me flinch. A candle is a target. A match, a betrayal."
We don’t ask questions anymore. The answers are relentless: Nowhere is safe, no one is whole.

Virkelig fin, grundig - og yderst aktuel i tidens politiske landskab - gennemgang af misvisende mediedækning, komplet mangelfuld faktatjek og skævvreden kontektualisering af "anti-woke"-bevægelsen.

Indlægget handler om hvordan journalister kan gå til anti-woke politikere som Morten Messerschmidt når de fremfører misvisende påstande.
